Lincoln, as I recall...

Okay, so you're on the edge of your seats, waiting for the next IMAO Podcast, right?

Well, Round 1A of Pickle Tales is up, and my story "Lincoln, As I Recall" is there for your general amusement.

So are several other stories, and I'd like you to listen to them all before making your choice which one is the best of this round.

Think of it as an IMAO Podcast, but without SarahK and FrankJ.

Or Spacemonkey. (Unless you want to imagine Abraham Lincoln saying "Be this the end of Abraham Lincoln!")

Or Right Wing Duck.

Or Harvey's Fun Facts.

Or, um, Kevin's line "In my legal opinion, you're all gay."

Or Aquaman, Buck the Marine, that samurai guy...

Just a crappy bedtime story, without the "NOW GO TO BED!" at the end or Pachelbel's Canon in D minor. (The first two pieces are Library of Congress concert series recordings of Lincoln-era music)

Anyway, if you're interested, I have the script for "Lincoln, As I Recall..." somewhere if you'd like it, but you'll eventually see it again as the Wacky Adventures Of Abraham Lincoln Chapters 93 through 99 on the 100 word stories podcast.

Thanks to Podcast Pickle for hosting it and the creators and judges for moving the idea forward.

But most of all, thanks to FrankJ. Because not only was he my inspiration, but he was also my perspiration.

Can I have my underarm deodorant back?
